I have a suspicion that Emma and Albert may have got divorced and when she remarried (?) her new name was Pretty or similar.

I have been trying to track down Emma Miller's birth. There was a Emma E Miller born in 1881 in Sydney and one born in 1886 but is the Emma who married Albert one of these or some else completely.

I do know there was a farmer, Robert Lean living in Dungog in 1861, 2 years prior to James Donkin and Margaret Lean getting married in Dungog. But the only association I can make is the surname and they may not be connected.

Similarly, a Robert Lean (age 28) also appears as a passenger on the City of Edinburgh in 1837. Trouble is confirming any of these people are linked or not. However I thought it was interesting that a Willam Donkin (age 29) was on the same ship.
